Registering uTorrent into Default Programs

It's simple but very useful. This morning I decided to start a magnet download but a little Modern UI torrent client called Torrex was avoiding me to set magnet associations back to uTorrent.

The reason was Torrex app registerd itself in the proper way, while uTorrent didn't.

I read this MSDN article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc144154(v=VS.85).aspx and it was very easy to add uTorrent to Default Programs.

Here is the registry dump of my additions:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BitTorrent\uTorrent\Capabilities]
"ApplicationDescription"="uTorrent types associations for windows provided by LuKePicci"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BitTorrent\uTorrent\Capabilities\FileAssociations]
".torrent"="uTorrent"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BitTorrent\uTorrent\Capabilities\UrlAssociations]
"magnet"="Magnet"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RegisteredApplications]
"uTorrent"="Software\\BitTorrent\\uTorrent\\Capabilities"

And this is what I've obtained:
